A 62-year-old woman from Limassol fell victim to fraud. According to her, between the dates 25/02/2025 - 28/02/2025, an unknown person, pretending to be a bank employee, contacted her by phone and told her that she had to immediately transfer money from her bank accounts, because, as he told her, attempts were being made to illegally withdraw money from them.
The complainant was convinced by the words of the person in question and sent him, through 34 different transactions, to bank accounts in foreign countries that he indicated to her, the sum of $1.245.466 and €32.459.
The case is being investigated by the Limassol TAE's General Directorate of Investigations.
